From Tang Shaoyi's standpoint, the looting of foreigners' money is a very happy thing. However, Wang Chenhao gave him 35 million taels of silver to buy Bank of America bonds, and he was really surprised by such a huge amount of money.

The silver had been exchanged for two (passbooks), one for two million pounds sterling and the other for fifteen million dollars. But Tang Shaoyi still felt a huge weight in his hands, which came from the pressure brought by the huge amount of money, and also from Wang Chenhao's reuse and trust in him.

Tang Shaoyi said tentatively again: "The adults gave me so much money, so I am not afraid that I will run away with the money?" ”

Wang Chenhao was naturally afraid in his heart, but he didn't have time to go out in person at the moment, and he was unwilling to miss this opportunity, so he had to gamble no matter what.

"I believe in Shaochuan's character! If Shaochuan is a person who loves money, with Shaochuan's ability to work in Tianjin and North Korea's tax yamen for ten years, it is easy to earn a million taels of silver, but now Shaochuan you have a clean breeze on your sleeves, so I believe that Shaochuan you are an upright person. ”

Tang Shaoyi was so trusted by Wang Chenhao, and his heart was naturally warm, but the feeling of being looked at by Wang Chenhao still made him smile bitterly, and said, "My lord seems to know the details of Shaochuan?" ”

Wang Chenhao said with a smile: "Shaochuan's talent is far more than a minister to the United States, if Shaochuan can afford me, I am willing to help Shaochuan achieve a higher career, and the prime minister is the role that Shaochuan should have." ”

Tang Shaoyi was taken aback when he heard this, he knew what a big official he was, but there was no position of prime minister in the Qing Dynasty, Wang Chenhao said it made people think deeply, and the meaning of changing the dynasty was very obvious. So he said with some trepidation: "My lord, please be cautious." ”

Wang Chenhao didn't care, he knew that Tang Shaoyi was not a Manchu diehard in his bones, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense. If someone supports him and gives him confidence, I believe that he will stand up and follow.

"You and I don't have to hide between us, we are all people with new ideas and big ambitions, we are all people on the same front, and only by helping and supporting each other can we realize each other's ideals and ambitions."

Tang Shaoyi felt that he had no secrets in front of Wang Chenhao, and even the thoughts he hid deep in his heart couldn't hide from him, in front of him, Tang Shaoyi felt like he was naked without clothes.

"Adults aren't going to realize their ambitions now, are they?"

Neither of them dared to make their words clear, and they both understood what ambitions and ideals meant, but they just didn't say it directly, leaving themselves room for maneuver.

It's just that when Tang Shaoyi said this, it already meant that he admitted that he had the same thoughts as Wang Chenhao. That's enough.

Wang Chenhao then said with a smile: "Ambitions and ideals are lofty and ambitious, how to achieve them has to be considered in the long run, not in a hurry, not in a hurry." If Shaochuan helps me, I will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly, this Wang Chenhao still had to force him to make a statement. However, Tang Shaoyi thought of Wang Chenhao's importance and trust in him, and felt that he could still try.

"Since the adults value Shaochuan so much, then Shaochuan will do his best for the ambitions of the adults and strive for the icing on the cake."

Saying that, Tang Shaoyi bowed to Wang Chenhao to the end and made a big salute.

Wang Chenhao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said happily: "With Shaochuan's help, why not the icing on the cake?" It's like a tiger with wings. ”

The two looked at each other, knowing the meaning of each other's words, this kind of code-language conversation was really exciting, and they couldn't help laughing.

After the two expressed their positions in a showdown, they talked much closer, and Wang Chenhao said the second purpose of the trip. "Does Shaochuan know any financial entrepreneurs in the United States?"

Tang Shaoyi asked rhetorically: "What do you mean?" ”

Wang Chenhao explained: "After the success of this plan, I will earn a lot of money, but I don't need this money in China for a short time, I plan to keep this money in the United States, run some profitable business and continue to appreciate, so I need talent management in this area." It's better to be American, so it will be a lot less trouble! ”

Tang Shaoyi thought for a while and said, "I'll handle this matter." When I was a student at Columbia University in the United States, I stayed at Goden's house in Springfield, Massachusetts. He holds a Ph.D. in business administration from Columbia University and is currently working as an assistant manager at a Wall Street bank, and we have been good friends for more than ten years, and we have exchanged letters every year. ”

"Great!" Wang Chenhao was very happy and said: "After Shaochuan arrived in New York, I found a way to contact Ge Denger and let him be used by me. Send me a telegram when you're done, and I'll give you instructions on the next steps. ”

As he spoke, Wang Chenhao took out a copy of the Analects and handed it to Tang Shaoyi, saying: "This Analects is the telegraph code book we contacted, and it will inevitably be deciphered by the telegraph offices of the United States and the imperial court, so you should keep it carefully." ”

Tang Shaoyi couldn't help but admire: "The adults are so thoughtful, Shaochuan remembers." ”

After the two finished talking, Li Youyi walked out with Zheng.

At this time, after Li Youyi's dressing, Zheng's was already like two people before, gorgeous dresses and expensive jewelry, plus careful dressing, Zheng's was a little more gorgeous and noblewoman's image, Tang Shaoyi was overjoyed to see it, and hurriedly stepped forward to see a large number of Zheng's.

After a long time, Tang Shaoyi came back to his senses, turned to Wang Chenhao and Li Youyi and said, "My lord, madam, how can this Shaochuan stand it?" ”

Wang Chenhao said with a smile: "My family members are not divided into each other. ”

Li Youyi grabbed Zheng's arm and said to Tang Shaoyi: "Mrs. Tang is now my sister, Lord Tang is not allowed to bully her!" ”

Tang Shaoyi was stunned for a moment and looked at Zheng.

Zheng nodded embarrassedly, and hurriedly said: "Thanks to Mrs. Mistaken love, Shaochuan treats his concubine very well." ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly in her heart, and secretly said that the husband and wife were all cleaned up and obedient, so she smiled and said: "There is a lady who supports the insider, Shaochuan is afraid that she will be bullied, how dare she bully her?" ”

After speaking, everyone couldn't help but smile.

Wang Chenhao and his wife stayed in the official post for an afternoon, and had dinner together at the invitation of Tang Shaoyi and his wife, and the relationship between the two sides reached a higher level.

The next day, Tang Shaoyi and his wife took their two daughters to New York, the United States, and Wang Chenhao and his wife went to the pier to see them off, which made Tang Shaoyi and his wife very grateful. Because Tang Shaoyi was carrying a huge amount of money, although the matter was unknown, as a precaution, Wang Chenhao still sent 20 personal soldiers to protect him, and escorted Tang Shaoyi's family all the way to New York safely.

At this time, the American Railway had been completed, and Tang Shaoyi and his party arrived on the west coast of the United States by boat, and then took a train to Washington, D.C., and then to New York for more than a month.

On 3 September, Tang Shaoyi arrived at the White House in Washington, D.C., and after handing in his credentials, the US political axe confirmed Tang Shaoyi as the new minister of the Qing political axe to the United States.

After the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act by the United States, the Qing Axe abolished the Legation in Washington as a protest, and only retained the New York Consulate General and the San Francisco Consulate General.

Tang Shaoyi was stationed at 520 Twelfth Avenue in New York, which is the Consulate General in New York. After going through the handover formalities with the former minister to the United States, Tang Shaoyi officially began to exercise the power of minister plenipotentiary to the White House.
